Subject: [PATCH] ARM: zImage: add support for ARMv7-M
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2014 18:22:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1411057343-20861-1-git-send-email-manabian@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch makes it possible to enter zImage in Thumb mode for ARMv7M
(Cortex-M) CPUs that does not support ARM mode. The kernel entry is
also made in Thumb mode.

Hi,

This patch is loosely based on the Cortex-M old support patch by
Catalin Marinas. A lot has happend to compressed/head.S since 2010
but the general placement of some of ifdefs are the same.

Successfully tested on NXP LPC4357 (Cortex-M4).

I just noticed that there is CONFIG_CPU_THUMBONLY config symbol.
Would it be better to use that in this file?

regards
Joachim Eastwood
